Crafted from robust metal, garage door cables are designed to be flexible, enduring repetitive pulls through pulley systems or wrapping around drums. This flexibility, however, increases the likelihood of cable breakage over time.
Similar to other components, cables undergo substantial wear and tear. Regularly check their strength to detect any damage, especially signs of fraying. If observed, contact us promptly for a thorough evaluation. Rust is another common cause of cable breakage, necessitating replacement to prevent garage door dysfunction.
An unlevel garage door signals the need to inspect cables. In a torsion spring setup, a cable may wrap around the drum, causing uneven movement. Dangerous situations arise when attempting to reconnect cables due to extreme tension in the spring.
For extension spring setups, check the pulleys. Worn-out pulleys disrupt smooth cable operation, leading to an uneven or stuck door. In such cases, pulley replacement may be necessary.
